It will be directed by Amit Sharma, who made his film debut with the Arjun Kapoor – Sonakshi Sinha starrer Tevar. He has been working on the script for the last two-and-a-half years with his writers Akshat Ghildial and Shantanu Srivastava, since the former came up with a one-line story idea.

Amit informs that co-producer Priti Shahani had been working on a similar concept. But after reading each other’s scripts, they agreed that his was better and decided to collaborate.

On the catchy title, he adds that Badhaai Ho was the working title from day one, and while he had intended to change it along the way, he quickly realised that it’s simple, apt, quirky and a part of many people’s everyday lingo.

Speaking about the film, Amit said that Badhaai Ho is a relatable story. Amit also spoke about Ayushmann, who has done films on taboo subjects like sperm donation, body-shaming, and erectile dysfunction. Amit described the actor as a loveable and relatable actor.
